Spring is a bit different in California. In fact, while other parts of the country are still shoveling out from under the last remnants of ice and snow, we are enjoying some pretty nice weather. And although the difference between the seasons may not be as dramatic here in Mission Viejo, we do have reason to anticipate the spring - simply having longer days is reason enough to smile. Just when you may think our town couldn't be any prettier, the spring flowers arrive! Read More about Spring Flowers Arrive in Southern California »

Floral Design Day is officially February 28th and is a day set aside to honor and celebrate all the talented artisans whose medium is flowers. Of course, at Mission Viejo Florist, every day is designated for floral designs - it is what we do best! If you are looking for flowers for any special occasion, or you simply want to send flowers "just because", make sure to give us a call first.
Floral Design Day was originally established to honor Carl Rittner, the founder of the School of Floral Design in Boston.
